[AT] Farmall 340

[Mike Sloane]

I have one that I dragged out of a field a few years ago and (mostly) 
restored. I think it is a great machine. It is one of the earliest 
"modern" IH tractors: independent PTO, independent hydraulics, remote 
hydraulic outlets, TA, full instrumentation, optional power steering, 
etc. Mine has a Fast Hitch, but they also came with a regular Cat I 
three-point hitch. They were offered as a row crop, wide front, diesel 
or gas (and I think propane), utility, and crawler. A friend has a 
utility that he is restoring, and that is a nice machine too.  You can 
see some images of mine at <http://public.fotki.com/mikesloane/farmall_340/>

Best of luck with your machine,

Mike
